Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

Quote By Winston Churchill

Quote Meaning

We can’t wait on the sidelines and hope that someone else will do something and then we will reap the benefits. We have to take chances, make choices, and take action. Our future is in our hands, not someone else’s. Have a goal, make a plan, and take action. When obstacles appear, assess and adjust your plan, then move forward.
